Hector Ó hEochagáin was 'recovering for three days' after Laurita Blewitt's wedding to Joe Brolly

Hector Ó hEochagáin has lifted the lid on his good friend Laurita Blewitt's Mayo wedding.

Podcaster Laurita tied the knot with outspoken GAA pundit Joe Brolly in an intimate ceremony of 100 family and friends at the Ice House Hotel in Ballina during the summer, RSVP Live reports.

She is well-known for presenting the Tommy, Hector & Laurita podcast alongside Tommy Tiernan and Hector.

Speaking to RSVP Magazine about the big day, Hector said: "It took me three or four days to recover, I’m telling you. The wedding went on for three days and three nights, a typical Mayo wedding.

"She has married her beloved - that’s what we call him - Mr B. We now call her Mrs B. For two years she’s been getting ready for this wedding, and it was brilliant.

"There was a great crowd up there; a great eclectic bunch of people at the wedding. It was in a marquee at the clubhouse beside the GAA pitch. Only Laurita Blewitt would have the local GAA club on side! She’s a great Mayo lady."

Laurita is of course a massive part of the podcast, which has been incredibly successful. Hector is thrilled to have her as part of the trio.

"I’m so happy she’s part of the podcast with us," he said. "She’s given us an amazing insight into her world, like we give her an insight into our world."

The podcast was a big winner at the Irish Podcast Awards - which the team are of course delighted about.

"We’re very proud of the podcast, it’s hitting 20 million downloads in two years," he said.

"So many people are writing to us from all over the world and all over the country, and it’s just making them smile, and making them laugh, and that’s a good thing."
